Martyrs' Shrine Courtyard

  At night, Wang Ao Xuan scattered the 100,000 yuan on his bed and had an intimate contact with the money for the first time. Sleeping on top of the money, he found that it was so refreshing. His inner thoughts were filled with emotions, wondering if he was getting closer to his dreams or closer to danger. He didn't know what would happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Wang Ao Xuan only wanted to be responsible for the safety of his brothers and for justice. As he thought about this, he fell asleep.

  The alarm clock rang, Wang Ao Xuan wrapped his head tightly with the quilt and continued to sleep. After a while, he heard from beside him: "Ao Xuan, get up, you're late. Are you still going to school?"

  Wang Ao Xuan squinted his eyes to look at his watch, and exclaimed: "It's already 10 o'clock! What's the point of going now? I'm not going. Anyway, school just started, it's not a big deal. You go call them and let them notify everyone to be present at the Martyrs' Memorial at 12 o'clock. I don't want anyone missing, nor do I want to see anyone late."

  Peng Hao took out the BP machine and started taking action. Wang Ao Xuan, who was woken up, had no intention of sleeping and lazily lay on the bed smoking. Half an hour passed in a flash. When they got up to wash their faces, it was already past 11 o'clock when Wang Ao Xuan and Peng Hao went out. Wang Ao Xuan put the money in his new bag, and while he was entangled in his heart, he had a thrilling mentality. Wang Ao Xuan looked at Peng Hao walking briskly forward, smiled and called him: "Hao Hao, slow down, we still have half an hour, why don't we go to the school garden to wait for them and see their efficiency? But we must not be discovered."

  Peng Hao smiled and nodded, the two of them smoking as they walked along the street. When they arrived at school, the bell had just rung, signaling the end of classes. They climbed over the wall into the garden, sat down, and Wang Ao Xuan closed his eyes, puffing on his cigarette as he gazed up at the blue sky. From time to time, he would look over at the groups of people gathering in the schoolyard, a pleased expression on his face. "Look at this scene," he said, turning to Peng Hao. "There should be quite a few people here. I really didn't expect it, but we've actually managed to gather so many. Take a guess, how many of them do you think have guts?"

  Peng Hao rubbed his head and replied: "I really don't know about this. Never mind, it's okay to just fill the quota. Haha. Axuan, people from Lai Te have arrived."

  Wang Ao Xuan turned around to see Li Jin Tao hugging a girl, with Ao Lun and others following behind him, looking like there were more than twenty of them. Wang Ao Xuan looked at them with disdain, waiting for Li Jin Tao's arrogant steps to slowly approach him. Li Jin Tao walked up to Wang Ao Xuan, intentionally kissing the girl, who was surprisingly very pretty, with long legs, big eyes, and a lively spirit. It seemed that this rascal was quite popular among girls. Li Jin Tao looked at Wang Ao Xuan and said: "Hey, isn't this our Ao Xuan brother? I heard you're holding a beggar's conference today, as the leader, why aren't you teaching your disciples to stop begging? Tell them not to be so shameless and bring shame to their ancestors!"

  Peng Hao stood up in anger and scolded: "Son of a bitch, what did you say?"

  "What's with you, fatty? You think you have the qualifications to come here and make a fuss? Save it, okay? Others are just trying to get by, but you're following along, making a scene. You've got no future if you keep this up, especially if you're hanging out with the leader of the beggars." Li Jintao said, his underlings burst into laughter, Ao Lun also laughed, and the girl he was holding onto covered her mouth and giggled.

  Wang Ao Xuan stood up, scanning the little brothers beside him, and suddenly sneered: "I don't know which dog told you this old dog, I am a beggar gang, but there is also a way to beat dogs. Haha, Li Jin Tao, your mother's really doesn't know what to say, look at the people around you, who looks like a human? Especially you, this bastard, the least like a human, and most likes to howl and scream, no wonder all the things on your hands recently have been taken over by me, and my people beat your little brothers until they were defeated. It's normal to be angry. But I think you named your faction 'Lai Te' is quite fitting, because this is indeed a dog group. Haha."

  Li Jintao's men were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could devour Wang Aoquan and Peng Hao. Several of them rushed forward, ready to take action, but Li Jintao stopped them all. His face turned pale with rage, his eyes blazing with fire, as he said: "I don't want to waste words on you, Wang Aoquan. In Fenlie Middle School, there can only be one tiger on the mountain. Either I knock you down or you knock me down. From now on, it's time for us to clash."

  Wang Ao Xuan burst out laughing: "One mountain can't have two tigers, unless it's a male and female pair. Unfortunately, we're both males. In that case, there's only one outcome - you'll be the one I knock down."

  "You're so confident." Li Jintao stared at Wang Aojuan without blinking.

  "Let's take a look." Wang Ao Xuan pulled Peng Hao out of Li Jin Tao's crowd, his fists clenched, then looked at the anger on Peng Hao's face and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll deal with him sooner or later. You shouldn't be angry either. As a man, you have to tolerate grievances. Don't let those few dogs affect your mood. Let's go now and take a look at our troops at the Martyrs' Pavilion. By the way, after we arrive at the Martyrs' Pavilion, call those four people over to me and take a look at the ones inside who are taller than 1.72 meters and have quick movements. Take note of their names, slowly understand their courage and personality, and then cultivate them carefully."

  "Don't worry, I know what to do." Peng Hao replied confidently. The two arrived at the Martyrs' Pavilion and saw a sea of people inside, Peng Hao shouted: "A Bin, A Xuan is here!" All eyes in the pavilion were fixed on Wang Ao Xuan. The two walked in slowly, with occasional whispers from the side: "Xuan Ge hao, Xuan Ge, Xuan Ge hao, Xuan Ge hao, Xuan Ge hao."

  Wang Ao Xuan nodded and gestured to the people inside the Martyrs' Pavilion, looking at them - there were fat ones, tall ones, short ones, thin ones, all sorts. He couldn't help but smile inwardly, walking up to the high slope of the pavilion. At this time, Peng Hao had already called the four of them over, standing behind Wang Ao Xuan. Wang Ao Xuan smiled knowingly and asked Xiao Bin and Fang Hang, who were standing on his left: "Is everyone here? How many are we in total?"

  Fang Hang immediately replied: "A Xuan, everyone is here, 102 people from grade one, two and three."

  Wang Ao Xuan was secretly delighted, and with a smile, he looked at them, then glanced at the crowd in front of the Martyrs' Shrine. It was quite good, with a sense of ancient warfare. Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone be quiet."

  The people below heard Wang Ao Xuan's voice, and collectively gazed at him, without hearing any murmurs or laughter, as if they were all waiting for Wang Ao Xuan to give orders.

  Wang Ao Xuan continued: "Today, I called everyone here, it's not a big deal. Many people have seen me before because last semester I stood on the flag-raising platform. My name is Wang Ao Xuan. Today is not a gathering or asking for money from anyone. From now on, I just want to tell you some things. First, I won't collect any more money from you all in the future. I hope to become brothers with everyone and work together to achieve our goals. Second, I will officially launch my own brand, making this town a little different because of me. Third, I want to ask everyone, who is willing to follow me, Wang Ao Xuan, to struggle together? If you're not interested in learning or don't want your family to worry, please leave immediately. I, Wang Ao Xuan, will absolutely not force you. After all, this path we are about to take will definitely have dangers. You think for yourselves, five minutes."

  The murmurs rose again, some walked out of the Martyrs' Pavilion, and some were not firm in their will. Wang Ao Xuan saw it with his own eyes, while the brothers next to him were anxious in their hearts... Wang Ao Xuan smiled: "How's everyone's consideration? Are you willing or not to follow me, Wang Ao Xuan, to make a name for ourselves and speak out?"

  "Xuan Ge, we're willing, willing to follow you and mix together."

  Wang Ao Xuan hinted at Fang Hang to recount the number of people again, and then said to Wen Yu Qi beside him: "Qi Qi, open all the cigarettes. Distribute them one by one."

  Wen Yuqi nodded and started unpacking the cigarettes. Fang Hang ran up to Wang Ao Xuan and said, "Ao Xuan, there are still 89 people left, how many just left?"

  Wang Ao Xuan nodded. He continued to speak to the people below: "Everyone, be quiet. Those who just left, I absolutely do not force or blame them. You are all elites, and I, Wang Ao Xuan, do things with the principle of sharing fortune and adversity together. Of course, there will inevitably be bumps on the road, and injuries will also be inevitable. But as long as we work together, we can definitely make a difference. You are the first batch of people in my team, no matter whether I develop further or not, you are all my brothers. Let me tell you, several months ago, seven of us took an oath in the temple ahead, now six have become seven, and I don't regret it at all, because I, Wang Ao Xuan, can face anyone, and others can also face me, we just have different stances. I never thought that simply not being bullied was enough, I want to lead you all to make money, a lot of money, I want to be responsible for each of your safety, I don't want to say more, I just want to tell you, as long as there is a day when Wang Ao Xuan eats, none of you will go hungry."

  The people below puffed on their cigarettes, seemingly deeply influenced by Wang Ao Xuan's words, and chimed in unison: "Xuan Ge, we're with you."

  When the time is ripe, Wang Ao Xuan said: "Alright, you eighty-odd people are the backbone of our group. The five people next to me, excluding Peng Hao, will each lead twenty people. You will follow their arrangements and when there's a big event, we'll gather together to take action. They will cultivate you well, and I will provide financial support. Now, let me announce the rules for following me: First, do not bully female students in school, regardless of their grades or background. Second, while in school, you are students, so study hard and don't let anything affect your academic atmosphere; don't come to school trying to act tough. Third, no tattoos or dyeing hair. Fourth, do not provoke trouble intentionally. Can you all do that?

  "We'll get it done, guaranteed." The few words from his comrades warmed Wang Ao Xuan's heart.

  Wang Ao Xuan said to the four brothers standing next to him: "You all go down now, each of you choose twenty or so people to bring. Remember, make sure to tell them the rules."

  They walked away with four people. Before long, each of them led a group of people to stand in four rows, and then they shouted in unison: "Xuan Ge."

  "Alright, alright. Xian Jun and Xiao Bin, you two are in charge of striking at Lai Te's people in school, within the next three days, you must stir them up. Got it?" Wang Ao Xuan cast his gaze towards Xian Jun and Xiao Bin.

  The two of them nodded. Wang Ao Xuan signaled for them to disperse and said to them: "Going out in batches, suddenly such a large group of people going out will definitely raise other people's vigilance. The four of you stay behind."

  Watching the crowd slowly leave, Wang Ao Xuan's heart was filled with a thousand emotions.
